About us

Who we are, and why we are doing this

FC Isar Robotics is a student team at TU Munich building autonomous humanoid robots that play football. We are on the way to the RoboCup World Championship in Nürnberg in June 2027.

  • Who we are

    A student team at TU Munich, working inside RoboTUM, Germany's largest student robotics initiative, with scientific supervision and advisors across the university.

  • What we do

    We buy a proven competition body, the Booster T2, and create everything that makes it play: perception, state estimation, walking and balance, behaviour and team play. In the RoboCup Humanoid League nobody holds a controller, so every decision is generated and executed on the robot itself.

  • Why we do it

    Munich is one of Europe's leading robotics locations and still has no RoboCup team. Humanoid football is a hard, public test of autonomy. And students learn fastest when their code has to work on a real robot, in front of a crowd.
